October stat distortions aside, let's not lump him in with Hiller.
Ortio has lost too many games 2-1 including in extra time

Yeah Ortio has been pretty good. But our scoring seems to dry up when he's in net. He's not going to play every single game and he will occasionally have a stinker too. I don't trust Hiller and Backstrom a ton but hey, let's give em some starts, why not.
We have no secondary scoring the way the lines are set up right now. On the one hand I like the set up because I want us to develop Bennett at centre. On the other hand that dismantled our only other successful scoring line in Bennett-Backlund-Frolik. Now we have Johnny-Mony-XXXX and then 3 lines that don't score consistently.
We just don't have the scoring to win a ton of games. We're going to lose the occasional ones to goaltending as well. Our road games are going to be tough because they can put their best defensive players out against Johnny. Home games we'll win some for sure.
